Kangkagate C Hyperhomocysteinemia has been recognized as a risk factor of atherosclerosis. This
study was aimed to measure the risk of coronary artery disease in patients with hyperhomo-
cysteinemia. Age, HDL level, tHey level and history of DM were independent risk factors for
coronary artery disease. The level of tHey of 11.0 mmol/L provides the best sensitivity and spe-
cificity of predicting coronary artery disease.
